Default 275/45/20 on a 8" rim?

Anybody running this size on a 8" rim? How does it look? All hte tire sites I have looked at are saying it needs to be on at least a 8.5" and some even say no less than a 9" rim. Any input.

if you are not going to lower it then that size will look kinda funny. I say this becuase there will not be much side wall and on a z-71 it will leave you a nice gap between the tire and the fender. Just a thought.. I have pics of what 275-55-20 look like on a denali with stock height.
